After I save an Excel worksheet as a space delimited prn file, I would like
to convert it from dos to unix. Is there a way to do this within Excel or by
using someother Microsoft utility?

Most Dos --> Unix tools can be found on Unix/Linux, and you can use
them in batch. However, perhaps if you Google very hard, you might find
a tool that is ported to Windows. I know Editpad pro supports Unix
files. But then you'd have to endure a gui which may or may not be
convenient.

My answer is: let Unix solve the problem, it is much better equipped
for such things.
